I’ve seen a lot of people say they are disappointed because the girls didn’t actually go feral and crazy out there because of how pit girl played out but like did you not watch the show? They ostracised Jackie and made her sleep outside which lead to her death, most of them tried to sexually assault and kill Travis, They got really into the first hunt and likely would have killed Nat if they caught her, They stood and watched Javi, a 12 year old kid drown when he was screaming for help so they could eat him, they still took part in hunts, they essentially tortured a disabled man and forced him to stay alive in the most inhumane conditions,even though most of them didn’t think he was guilty, they chose to take part in ritualistic cannibal feasts when it wasn’t necessary and the only thing that stopped them from spiralling into group psychosis during the second winter was that they had a real chance at rescue that grounded most of them back in reality. It’s like Shauna wrote in her journal “we all lost our fucking minds” she wasn’t wrong, things were just more nuanced because not everyone had a role in the active violence but everyone was complicit.

I knew Mari wasn't going to make it bc if she had lived my girl would NOT have respected their pact. she would have written books, would go on talk shows calling Shauna shanibal lecter, she would have been a Tonya harding type of celebrity and I love that for her.

“The girls looked really ruthless and cruel in the pilot but they seemed so tame and normal in the actual pit girl hunt!!” yeah it’s almost like the pilot was showing us the way the world would perceive their actions as monstrous and unimaginable, but when we found out the context and saw what they had gone through, we understood that it was multilayered and we saw through the idea that they lost their minds and turned evil. It’s almost like nuance is the whole point. It’s almost like they were never evil they were just hungry??

Drunk Travis getting the tea on Jackieshauna.

I felt like I should’ve waited for the perfect time to bring this out, and at long last that time has come.

just cuz shauna is queen, doesn't mean she's worshiped. the thing about jackie being captain was she had "influence" people truly turned to her at the beginning, mari looked to her and was a jackie stan, then as jackie began to fade and lottie began to rise, people truly turned to lottie, they believed in her and what she was saying, and when it became nat, they all kissed her hands and truly thrived under her leadership. where MARI goes is indicative of who's really in charge. mari worshiped jackie, then lottie, then nat, and yet? never shauna. because while shauna was queen, she was never worshiped.

she never got what she wanted, she never got to be queen to overcome her insecurities with jackie. she was in charge, not worshiped. she strong armed her power, and the only person who ever worshiped her was lottie, which …. is fascinating and gay to me but alas - not ONE person truly worshipped shauna, which is what she wanted. so instead of being worshiped? she'd be hated, feared, commanding. it was evidence of her never getting what she wanted and instead forcing herself and her rage onto others which is PEAK shauna shipman. THAT'S what's happening. she's so close to always getting what she wanted. she wanted jackie? she got melissa. she wanted her wilderness baby? she got callie. she wanted to be worshiped? she's fucking feared.

THAT is shauna shipman. THAT is what's going on, and it's fucking delicious.

setting apart jackieshauna canon the scene with travis was insane and so great to me in general. the idea that the people they ate are part of them, that their thoughts and feelings from when they were alive live on. it gives jackie a voice in a way. he confirmed that jackie had feelings for shauna too. it’s also very interesting that they chose travis for this, to speak jackie’s thoughts. very interesting dynamic they have.

i love how s3 finale completely flips our perspective on the hunt from the pilot. half of the girls weren’t even hunting. van standing over the pit seemed so menacing in the pilot but now it’s just heartbreaking. mari being pit girl, not because the wilderness chose but because shauna chose. mari was only wearing a nightdress so she could use her clothes as a decoy. and turns out mari was a decoy while the others tried to get rescue. misty removing her mask and smiling not because they caught mari but because they’re getting rescued and there’s nothing shauna can do about it. the hair on the antler queen costume wasn’t a collection of various victims’ hair, it was just mari’s. this whole time we thought it was all the girls collectively giving in to the hunt and the wildness of it, but really it was just shauna, along with lottie and tai. none of them wanted to do a hunt, none of them wanted mari to be chosen.

obsessed with shauna deciding everyone had fun back in the wilderness. think that was just you, power hungry lesbian situationship having backstabbing worst trauma on the show having man murderer, queen ❤️

I wish Maysilee Donner would've met President Snow. He wouldve said some corny shit like "Snow lands on top" and she would've eaten the words and chewed them right back up so nasty that he would've been so ashamed to say them ever again.
